SENSES

“Beyond the fiction of reality, there is the reality of the fiction.”

— Slavoj Žižek, “Less Than Nothing: Hegel and the Shadow of Dialectical Materialism”

Modern love is increasingly a love in absentia. A virtual love: I imagine you. You imagine me. We understand each other and forge our intimacy through electrical currents. Is this a tragedy? A gift of technology? A new kind of sensuality or self-consciousness? A new form of cyber-humanism? Filmmakers Alexan Sarikamichian and Fran de la Fuente ask these complex questions and more in their newest short, “Senses.”
